Pyrford Church of England Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 June 2024

Pupils thrive at this highly inclusive, exceptional school. Staff have the highest expectations for both pupils' behaviour and what all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Pupils learn the school's values of love, respect, wisdom, and resilience well, and are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to apply these throughout their school lives. Behaviour in lessons and around school is impeccable. Pupils contribute to the life of the school and each other's well-being meaningfully, for example creating school baking and sporting events which are enjoyed universally. By the end of key stage 2, pupils achieve exceptionally high standards across the full curriculum. Disadvantaged pupils, including pupils with SEND, are prepared for their next stage of education thoroughly well. The school promotes pupils' good attendance supportively, using thoughtful, considerate approaches to ensure that pupils attend school regularly. Pupils are inspired in their learning. For example, all pupils learn a musical instrument, beginning with the recorder, then brass instruments, leading to a school concert performance. Pupils' attitudes to learning are exemplary. One pupil summarised the thoughts of others, saying, 'We learn about respect, being mindful, and how to model being the person that you want to be.'
